"Interested in the Gavitas, can someone point me in the right direction? I run a 600hps in a 4x4, tried dual 400's but was a bit hot. Want even coverage is all I ask."

No other fixture on the market gives you the spread that the gavita does......do yourself a favor, do a google search for "sshz and Orange Gasm" which is my thread on another site with over 42,000 views and growing about 1,000 views a month. It was my first grow under LED's, I got over 106 oz in a 4 X 8 space under two of them. There's a ton of info in the thread by many people, but results speak louder than words.

No guitar avatar? Was wondering what happened to you. Hadnt seen you round these parts. Great looking grow. I didnt read all 68 pages. Just curious on your soil mix. Did u go over it that thread on THCF?

Looking to switch my old 600wHPS/MH light for something top notch.

It’ll ideally need to cover a 5x5 tent footprint.

I was looking at a gravita 1700 this morning which seems decent but says it might struggle to fully cover a 5x5 area.

What would u guys recommend I look at?

cheers!!

from what I've read it would do 5x5 nice in flower. Real nice ! Apparently they can do 6x6 in flower and 7x7 in veg but 5x5 sounds better to me !!

You know what I actually just measured my tent and it’s a 4x4 lol Swear it was 5x5 but ach well - means the gravita light is ideal for the size.

I’m just in two minds. Apparently it comes on a pallet due to its size. I shut down the tent April time before it gets too warm here and to move outside so I’m just a bit hesitant about storing it.

But at the same time I wanna move in from my MH/HPS Set up

Also gonna give me a load more room. The gravita is just over 2 inches thick!

Is gravita the knock off version of a gavita?

Ended up buying the 1700e pro today and the controller.

Saw a 30% price reduction and was too tempting to ignore.

Now need to brush up on my LED knowledge. I know you need higher temps compared to HPS. @bk78 what humidity do you run your tent at during flowering?

flowering temps are flowering temps. terps dont know what type of light you have they will suffer and start to degrade and even evaporate over ~84F regardless.

I could be wrong but i think the "LED's need to run hotter" thing is because they have much less red, but thats becoming a thing of the past, modern manufacturers have made their lights produce a better spectrum than the limited blurpes of old.

I keep RH at a solid 60 from veg to harvest, temps 82-85 as well.

Nice, they do seem much happier in flower with a higher humidity. Thought 60% may be a bit high for dense colas? Guess not if airflow is spot on and there’s no humidity (hot) spots
